Dear Penny -
You are doing JUST the RIGHT thing to expand your resources beyond a small community where options are limited. i am fortunate to live in a large metro area where there is a a lot on the medical forefront. But even so, I need a site like this to learn from.
I took Taxol, navelbine and Herceptin for my liver mets. There was one stubborn tumor (that had begun as about 4 cm) around one of the hepatic veins that was well nourished and was looking like they may try to ablate - but they did not like that location very well for this procedure. Lucky that the chemo finally got it all or docs would have gone in for a surgical resection.
Hope the food/drink tips help. There are also some mild MOUTHWASH solutions that your Mom can try. You can make them with baking soda, etc. I liked the Biotene brand as it was not prickly in my tender mouth.
Now this is what we use!
